Special Edition: Find the Fun in 2026


Listen Later

As 2026 gets underway, many people feel pressure to set big goals and hit the ground running — but that mindset can quickly lead to stress or burnout.

In this Special Edition, clinical psychologist and Generation Anxiety author Dr. Lauren Cook joins us to talk about why New Year's resolutions so often fall apart, how anxiety plays a role, and what it can look like to approach change in a way that actually feels doable and even fun!

It's a conversation about starting the year with a little less pressure, and a lot more intention and joy.
